Mackenzie pointed out the flaws she sees in the photo, noting that her skin is loose and that she can “stick 4 fingers” between her abs, but even so she isn’t abandoning her dream of fitness modelling.

So you all following me are a huge reason I strive everyday to show you that mum bodies are beautiful. Lose skin, stretch marks, ALL OF IT. We created humans,” she wrote. “so keep pushing hot mummas.”
